Post quick reads for bored anons to read. Maybe you're like me and you have no stamina but you want to read something nice. I'm tired of reading meme banter. Let's read some /lit/. And then we can talk about it.
Short stories, prose works and poems all welcome.

A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - Solzhenitsyn
The Old Man and the Sea - Hemingway
The Pearl - Steinbeck
Poetry by any of the ancient Chinese poets, I like Li Po the best. If you want something more western but also historical, try Boris Pasternak.
In the Heart of the Heart of the Country by William Gass, phenomenal collection of short stories. Pic related is the first page of its preface.
There are seven short stories here for anyone bored enough to read them
